Article 2 corrects a misleading parenthetical explanation of a provision of Council Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000. Article 3 makes sure that sights for small arms and light weapons, other than those which only fit larger light weapons within entry ML5 on the military list, are controlled in the same way as the weapons themselves. Article 4 makes a range of vessels not designed or modified for military use but having certain characteristics subject to control in the same way as military vessels. Article 5 adds Angola and Namibia to the list of destinations where the exemptions for transit are of limited application, so that, for example, small arms would need a licence to transit through the UK to either country.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as minimal or no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
